TaIk An Old Hiram circles.

A prominent member of Old Hiram No.
says: ''The lodge so far from being perturbed
is meditating, in answer to various petitions
received, organizing new Grand lodge and a
new commandery of Knights Templar. The
latter idea springs in part from the practical
refusal of New Haven commandery to turn
out at the funeral of their ex-eminsnt COM
mander, the late Mr.. Crabtree. Hiramites
are still in Masonic communication with the
Masons of New York State, the Grand lodge
of that State having decided not to take sides
in the Connecticut Masonic imbroglio. As
to the Montana Grand lodges decision in
favor of the Connecticut Grand lodge, that is
not surprising, as it was evidently made
without full knowledge of Hiram's position .

THAT WEST END PARK,

Discussed by the Selecrmen and Town
Farm Trustees-No Action Taken.
The board of selectmen and the trustees of
the old town farm met in joint special ses-
sion at the town agents Office at O'Clock
yesterday afternoon.
There were present Selectmen Cooper,
Klenke, FeldMan, Reynolds and White, and
Trustees WEIGH, Morse and Morris.
The meeting was called to consider the
project of establishing a park in the western
part of the city, and in response to request
from the city to give a figure at which the
town would sell plot between Norton and
Mott streets, s75 feet, and of park width of
100 feet. No action was taken at the meet
ing. The matter was discussed in an infor-
NAL manner. Mayor York appeared as dis
interested party and engaged in the discus
sion.
The understanding is that the city can
have the land for the park if it continues the
park down around Whalley avenue.

President Clark of the Consolidated road,
speaking yesterday regarding the proposed
calling of special session of the legislature.
said that if there should be special session
and it should repeal the present law relative
to the grade crossings and provide nothing
in place thereof, the result would, of course.
be that all changes must cease and accidents
at these crossings continue, and there would
be then no provision by which town could
rid itself of dangerous grade crossing now
by petition from either party to the railroad
commissioners it can be done. President
Clark added that he did not see how the
present law could be improved, and further
said: "Orders have been made by the rail-
road commissioners covering twenty-five
crossings. The estimated expense of making
scribed them, is about 800, 900. Over $50
600 of this has been assessed upon the rail
road, leaving less than one-ffth of the cost
of making these crossings safe, to be paid BY
the towns. The law is explicit in saying
that in no case can the commissioners assess
over one-half against the towns, and prac-
tically the assessment has been much less,
and every order of the commissioners is sub
ject to review by the courts.
with the railroad company it is not mat
ter of squeezing all we can out of the towns.
We have no desire to override them at all.
In the case of a railway existing for years, "a
our line has, it has as good right as any 9TH
or highway. The law bears hard on the rail-
road, as l said. But what we want is to get
rid of these dangerous grade crossings"
